Going Out: Fab vs. Non Fab

Jump to newest

When going out with non-Fab friends or on a date, do you have a set budget for the combined entertainment: drinks, meal, etc. if you do socials and not straight to sex meets? Do you view outings with Fab friends differently from those with non-Fab friends?

I’m not asking about your financial limits or an actual budgeted amount but rather if you consider the value of each experience as equal or different. Do you prioritise one group over the other regarding amounts your willing to spend?

Is there a price point where you’d say “absolutely not” for either group? Again, I’m not seeking actual £ amounts.

What on Earth possessed me to ask this bizarre question?

Recently someone explained to me they spend a certain amount on Fab friends (at group socials) but might exceed it if not careful, preferring cash for better control. In another conversation a different person said they wouldn’t spend more than the price of a large coffee on a Fab user, viewing anything above that as excessive.

These conversations came up while discussing group socials and a special date I planned for a Fab friend who traveled far to see me. They weren’t conversations about money but these tangents occurred somehow.

It’s not that I’m discussing how much people are willing to spend to determine suitability of meeting them. 😅

If on a fab meet I tend to judge on how much connection made prior to meet and decide how much I want to put into the meet .. if not a fab meet then I will have already decided how much to put in depending on how I'm feeling

I don’t have a set budget per se for either nor consider there to be any difference.

The only time there would be a difference is if I was out with a partner

I had a friend who only carried cash when he went out to stop the potential of over spending. This was fine until he needed a taxi home and had spent all he had. Created a lot of problems and I ended up having to find him and help him

I don’t prioritise one group over the other when out. Over the years I’ve had holidays abroad, weekends away with fab friends whether that be platonic or sexual and I’ve probably spent a small fortune with all the organised socials I’ve attended but all have been money well spent

Time with non fab friends is exactly the same

Not even sure if I’ve answered you’re question as my brain is not functioning yet as been up since 1.45 am 😁

Is connection somehow linked, in your opinion, to a POV that’s a bit akin to ROR: rate of return as a gain (or loss) compared to how much you’re willing to put in?

What differentiates the connection in advance of a Fab meet from the other determining factor/variablethat allows you to say I’m willing to put in X amount on non Fab meets? Is this based on what you presume or ascertain as the ability to end the night naked with either in any way?

You have brilliantly answered. Thank you.

Bye op. Thanks for stopping by.

If I consider someone as a friend I treat them as one regardless of whether I know them through fab or not.

If they are someone I'm meeting for the first time it will only ever be a coffee social so it's not exactly going to break the bank.

I'm not sure how exactly you could overspend on friends at a group social unless you were buying rounds all night?

I don't drink at all so I might buy someone a drink but I'm not funding their need for alcohol all night so again it wouldn't be an issue.
